Yes... that's actually a pretty reasonable idea! Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kapil thangavelu" <kthangavelu@earthlink.net> To: "Chris McDonough" <chrism@zope.com> Cc: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 7:08 AM Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] Help System Searches
would it make sense to make the help system still allow searching but do storage in a mounted zodb ?
cheers

Not that I can think of. Other problems with the help system are presentation, mostly.
Would it somehow be possible to make the helpsystem ignore versions?
No, unfortunately. It uses the Catalog, which is based on ZODB, and it puts a Catalog instance into the main FileStorage, which is undoing and versioning. It then proceeds to do writes to the database when it appears that all you're doing is reading a pre-existing page. If you're in a version at the time, a set of objects will be written into the Catalog and into other places in instance space that have version. This is a bad pattern, and the only way to fix it is to prevent it from happening, which requires some helpsystem architectural changes that amount (IMHO) to a rewrite.
